Nota: a caixinha foi feita com cartão das caixas de cereais trazidas pelos papás...(reciclar SEMPRE!!!!)
E fizemos uma surpresa para os papás lerem com muita atenção...
Both the Maurer family of Houston, Texas, and the Wianecki family of Barnegat, New Jersey, wrote in to tell us they wax romantic come Valentine's Day. The families gather crayon nubs and recycle them into swirly, useable valentines. We can't think of a better way to say, "I melt for you."
Heat the oven to 250°.
Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes. Tip: Place a sheet pan under the crayons to catch any drips.
Once they're cool, remove the hearts from the molds and smooth any rough edges by rubbing them on a piece of scrap paper.
Use small pieces of foam tape to stick each heart to a 3-inch circle cut from card stock -- or use our template, then add your message.
Suggested messages:
You color my world
Valentine, you make my heart melt
Have a happy Valentine's Day, for "crayon" out loud!
